I download the es source code from github and I build success it with maven: **mvn clean package -DskipTes**.  
could someone teach me how to debug then. I run ElasticsearchF.java but I got this:  
**Unable to locate the class org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.ElasticsearchF : java.lang.ClassNotFoundException**

pls give some suggestion where I'm wrong, or tell me the steps of how to build source code and debug with source code.

Thanks
